No plans to take PGNiG off bourse

Contrary to suggestions recently made by the head of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE), the Ministry of State Treasury has no plans to take gas giant PGNiG off the stock exchange, Deputy Treasury Minister Wojciech Kowalczyk was quoted as saying by the Polish Press Agency. “We see PGNiG as our strategic asset, we have no plans to take it off the bourse,” Kowalczyk said. URE President Maciej Bando recently said that in his opinion PGNiG should be de-listed in order to support further energy market liberalization. At that time, Deputy Treasury Minister Zdzisław Gawlik said that all scenarios should be carefully considered.
